Kerri Colby Hair Color Inspiration

Hi everyone, james mansell, here bringing you yet another video. Oh my god, you guys welcome to my kitchen. Yes, we are inside my glamorous kitchen with a cast iron. No, it's not cast iron stainless steel, stainless steel; sink! That'S what it is! Where'D cast iron come from. I think i have food on the brain anyways. Today'S gon na be a very special video. We are doing an inspired hair coloring. Yes, we are coloring a human hair wig that i got from one of my subscribers, robert nyhan. You may remember it from me: styling. It in this video i'm going to give her a new lease on life. Now i got so inspired by the season. 14 workroom entrance looks especially carrie colby's. Yes, i saw her here and i thought i have to do something like that. So that's what we're doing today, i went and got some colors from the beauty supply store. Well, i went to jazzy chick and got a door. My favorite hair coloring brand, as well as they didn't, have pink there like the baby, pink. I needed for the trans flag, we're doing here, so i got froze from arctic fox. The brand i haven't used yet so it's gon na be an experiment today and we're gon na see how it all works out. Baby pink was all sold out. I'M doing the best when i got here all right, um first things: first, we got ta tone the hair because, as you can see, she's awfully 613 yellow, so we're gon na tone her as light as i can get to represent the white, because it's the trans Leg, so it's blue white and pink first things. First, i have got to wash the yellow out of this hair i'll, be right back now to the iphone footage. All right, let's get started, i have my hot water bucket, ready your hair's gone into the bucket. Oh all right trying to tone this hair. I am using shimmer lights shampoo and i stir it all up with one of those little like mixer things i got from joanne fabrics you used like froth coffee. It really worked. Well all right. It'S going to tone that for about five minutes to take the yellow out the hair, all right we are back, she is all toned out and i dried her girl. She turned out lovely. I just say that little frother i got that really actually worked like blend. The shampoo together, i'm actually intrigued to see how it works for like actual hair dye, because when i do watercolor that's always the big pain is getting that dye to foley mix, i'm sitting there with a whisk, like also i love it when, like a human hair, Wig is dry because you get this moment check it out. It'S like beyonce's in my kitchen, wow, that's the fantasy. All us dry queens live for with human hair. We all want that beyonce fan moment just like. Ah, you like stomped on the runway air flies everywhere. Now it's time to start doing the color? Yes, so i'm going to do the roots first or are we doing the bottoms? First, we are going to start with the roots five seconds later scratch that okay, i figured out what i'm doing i'm gon na do the bottom first. Yes, that's what we're doing we're gon na do the bottom first, so we're gon na do the pink on the bottom, with the hair dye. I'Ve never used before arctic fox. So that way, if this goes south i'll, just cry, it'll be one of those videos. Influencers post, where they cry in their kitchen: okay, it's gon na turn to that video! No! Oh! That'S right! I have a lower body. Now my hair is out of frame, but that doesn't matter. I'M gon na take her off the head because we're gon na prep her for watercolor. This is so much fun. It'S like arts and crafts - oh my god, especially when i'm doing it we put on my sensual sexy gloves. Oh, it's like juno birch, right in front of your eyes and add red to the tips of these gloves. This is gon na. Be great. Look at me, domestic goddess, i'm going to prep the water so that we can watercolor her i'll be right. Back now. Comes the hard part we're using arctic fox, temporary hair dye and i'm swishing that up and that stuff was really thick like it really took a long time to dissolve, and afterwards it didn't even do anything so we're going to try something else. That'S canceled we're gon na use a door one of my favorites and mix that in with a little bit of that arctic fox, that's gon na give us that instant. Look. We want just a little bit, though, because i want to be baby pink. I did a test swatch with some hair and it ended up actually dying. Look at that. Yes, baby pink, my favorite color all right now, let's dip the ends of that hair in there and dye them. Yes, because we want pink ends for this hair. Just put it on in that water, color and squish it around. They say about five to ten minutes. It really does work like i honestly stand by a door, a door. I stand you, you are amazing holy crap. It really actually works. You guys on human hair and honestly just switch swish in that water for about five to ten minutes. Until the hair is the color you want and rinse it out. We are back all right. I dipped this hair and she is looking so cute. Yes, look here, show you the back she's cute. She has a nice little dyed tip wig. Yes, now i just cut the hair on the head and i dipped it into the watercolor and that seemed to work the best. I did it twice now, the first time i did it. I just used this stuff, this arctic fox stuff, and it was not the tea girl um. As far as water curling went, it needed a little more help, so i mixed it with a little bit of a door pink rose, because that's what i had on hand and together, i feel like they did the job like i got the color i wanted. Instead of doing it with the whole wig in my hand, i actually kept the wig on the head, so i can gauge where the hair was gon na land and we just dipped it in like that, and it turned out really really cute. Now i did shampoo this to lighten the color a bit, but i feel like we got that nice beautiful, baby, pink color. We wanted, because, honestly, when i saw this wig when she walked in the work room, you guys i gasped. I thought. Oh, my god, that's the most beautiful thing. I'Ve ever seen so now it's time to start doing the roots. So what i'm going to do is i have to block out the lace because there's a full lace wig. So i'm going to use some vaseline and just get a good smear of it on the lace to protect it, so it doesn't die. Well, you know. So it doesn't. You know end up the color of blue because i don't want the lace to be blue. I want to keep it nice and peachy this part's always the worst, because it's like making puppets it's just so messy. It is now time to start doing the roots. Now i have baby blue here all right here we go. Let'S do this all right now, as you all know, i am a wonderful hairdresser, i'm great at styling hair, but when it comes to like doing coloring, it's a whole new journey. For me, okay, i'd say i'm partly inspired, because ernie on his channel has been going through quite the human hair journey and like learning how to color, hair and everything, because he's obsessed with all those colors. As you all know me, by now, you should realize i only usually wear one shade of hair if i get human hair, it's generally in blonde, because all i ever wear is blonde and i see them and coloring it because i don't wear it. If i do adventure out in color, it's usually with, like maybe a black wig here and there just like show variety, but for the most part i don't usually play around with coloring my hair too much and as far as coloring human hair goes. I always kind of got scared off of it, because for the longest time i always thought there was one way to put color into hair, and that was with hair dye like sitting there with all those chemical dyes and doing it. And then i realized, like all these amazing girls on youtube, are coloring their hair using adore like watercolor method, and i think it's so great. Like girls like miss rosh posh, i love her videos. That'S her so far check it out. It'S blue look at my reference. Photo because i'm looking at closely enough, i believe carrie actually went a little further back into her hair. I might not go that far back, because this was a little smaller, so we might play it a bit more to our own strengths but baby. I tell you i was gasping when i saw that hair so pretty. I was like what how brilliant to do that to a wig like what an entrance and that's always the intimidating thing about doing, drag races like one of the big things like what am i going to wear when i walk in, because it like sets the tone For everything, even if you don't stay there very long, they get a sense of what your style is all right. This is what i got so far check her out. I'M trying to be careful, so i don't actually drip on myself for the wig all right. I have it all foiled up so that the blue sections don't touch any of the blonde she's in foils she's, good she's. Setting now i understand why people who do human hair wigs charge so much for the color jobs they do because girl. This was so much work and i only did the front half of the roots. I can imagine folks that do crazy, colors all over the place, like you earned that paycheck honey. All right, you did. You earned it now, i'm gon na let her process i'll be right. Back we'll start all right, so it came time to rinse out the roots. Let'S just say it was an unexpected journey. Now i started by rinsing it out normally with just water, and then i got a little brown thought, let's put shampoo in this and see if i can get the color to lighten a little bit. So i shampooed the wig for a little bit. But then i was feeling extra brave and had the idea, let's put it inside the tub alright. So after i put the wig in the tub, i started shampoo and that turned into a huge mistake, because some of the blue started watercolor on the blonde. So i yanked it out right away and dumped that water out. That was a mistake and i went back to just shampooing it and rinsing it out normal and being extra careful this time to make sure nothing transfers. So i really just held that blue over the drain to make sure it didn't transfer. Let'S start curling it all right. So, as you can see, mine doesn't go quite as back as hers did. Hers went all the way back here, but i wanted to like leave my just the roots honestly curling iron time and, as you all know, i'm in a curling iron you can go either way drop the heat gorgeous all right. Well, that's two down now, just like 40 more to go, but i won't make you sit through that i'll catch you all in just a quick. Second, all right, we are back y'all already know this by now. This is kind of like my first time, really like going in depth with you guys and trying to like do something super hardcore when it comes to coloring, because i normally don't do that. It'S not without my forte. If it takes any longer than two hours. I don't want to do it, but that's me with life honestly. I am so excited, especially about like the new season. Everything like i always love when a new drag race season starts because, like you get to meet a whole new crop of girls, you didn't know before you already know this. I am obsessed with drag, so i want to know where it comes from all aspects of life, especially from doing drug history and stuff. You never quite know exactly where the next superstar is coming from and drag race is a really good opportunity for that, like especially this season, there's so many girls from so many different places. Besides like new york and california, that seems to be like the occupied space. For so many seasons, to be quite honest with you, the blue came out a little darker than i intended. It said it was baby blue, but it sort of cured more of like a true blue rather than an actual baby blue. I still think it looks really really pretty it's serving more of like that popsicle you had as a kid. You know the red white and blue one. Now i'm gon na do a little subtle permatease to this, because i don't want to like tase away all the roots that did all that work. You don't want to like. Take it all away now i like the way she did hers, because it looks so so pretty and honestly, with a wig and hair color scheme like this can get harley quinn, real quick, but hers looks so beautiful, but no, i had to talk about the season. 14 preview, we got with the work rooms some of the runways - oh my god, like did y'all, see willow pills, my goodness people were feeling some type of way about it. Like i saw some people really didn't care for it. I thought it was kind of hilarious. It reminded me of ashley tisdale, like remember how she showed up at red: carpets like full-on uggs and like a jean, with a skirt over it and six belts, icon and honestly fashion is stupid. Anyway, you should always break the rules of fashion. Why not it's yours? To interpret as you can tell, i never follow the rules of fashion, make up your own rules and break them, and it just goes to show girl drags a change in times or a change in the things that were once in vogue are no longer the case Anymore, you just got ta deal with it, sis it's how it works. If you stick around long enough, the things you like about drake will probably come back into fashion. It'S sort of like you know. People are hobby and rockabilly clothing and things like that. Wan na dress, like they're from the 50s - i wouldn't know anything about that, but they found a whole new subculture of just loving. That kind of look, let that be your stance and your position. Don'T waste your time and breath being angry at somebody's fashion, just because you don't like it and y'all already know human hair just teases up like that, like you, don't want to do a whole lot to it. You don't do a whole lot to it. So i'm not going to i'm just going to give it enough to where it gives an extra lift. So it doesn't look like you know, teeny tiny, on my head because she wore her straight onto her head and she's got great bone structure. She can pull that off. I do not and full disclosure. I am fairly new to the whole hair coloring process, i'm not afraid to admit that and i have made a few mistakes like, for instance, when i was doing the roots and i was rinsing them out. I made a mistake of putting them inside a bath and basically rinsing the hair in it with water. It wasn't a good idea because it ended up bleeding into some of the hair here and i could do like a bleach bath to get it out. But at that kind of time i think it looks pretty, and you know it's just it's telling a color story. Okay, that's the that's the term for in the salon, it's a color story, but i think she's looking so pretty look at her! Ah, this wig said trans rights - oh beautiful, okay! Well, i'm going to do a little bit of smoothing off camera, just to make sure she's, nice and camera ready and i'll be right back with the final result. Welcome back! Oh my god! This is the final result. Okay, this one harley quinn on me real quickly, the second one on my face. It went into a harley quinn kind of vibe, which kind of walks that fine line anyway, it's like harley quinn going to the opera, but i love it. I think it's really really pretty now on my own time, i'll, probably do a bleach rinse on you know the sides here just to make it look more blonde, because some of that blue dearly did bleed through, but i think it is so pretty and i made Sure to do a very wearable teased hairstyle for those who are asking for it look how beautiful and glamorous it looks. Oh i'm ready for the social occasion. Oh if you, like my dress, it's from pinup girl, clothing, they're, nice enough to send me some wonderful pr. Like this jane dress, how appropriate and these earrings i enjoyed doing this for the most part, i have to say, like it - was fun being able to experiment with like dying and everything if they managed to make it so that didn't take so long. I wouldn't mind that, but i will be dying something again in my next video because well i have to do a whole video after this. Now, when it comes to things, i would have done differently. What i could have done is possibly put vaseline all over the lace and just dip that front section into the die. That probably would have worked a lot better than the way i was doing it, but you live, and you learn if i ever do roots on a wig again i'll. Try it that way instead, because this was a bit more time consuming than it probably needed to be, but that's part of learning. This is what we have for now. We have internet and learning together teamwork and if you have suggestions in the bottom, please make sure and leave them, because i love reading those and learning new things. Remember i'm learning too. Okay we're on this journey together in 2022, it's a hair journey! Now i have to take a moment of that moment where i think everyone's tipped me on then no, i would like to thank sergio.
